Just to let you know: I own nothing, nada, zip...you get the picture.
"You know what? Get the hell out of my house; I am not going to take this B.S. anymore! Our marriage is over!" Steph yelled.
"Stephie...."
"You don't even have an apology, it's not like I can just forget this." She said sliding down to the floor with tears still streaming down her cheeks. She looked up to find him standing there. "Didn't I say get out? I mean it, really!"
"Fine...I'm gone...for good!" He yelled.
"Look me in the eye and tell me if I look like I give a damn!" She yelled at him. He didn't say anything; he just backed up and walked out of the door. She locked the door and fell to the floor once again. This isn't the only time this has happened to her. Except in her last relationship it was kind of her fault, it was all of her fault really. She wiped her tears away thinking of the excuse to call her ex-husband.
"Mommy?" A soft little voice asked. She turned around to see her four-year- old baby girl clinging on to her bunny rabbit by the ears.
"Yes?" Stephanie wiped all her tears away even though the tears were still noticeable.
"I want my daddy." She whispered.
"But..."
"Please mommy, pretty please?"
"Yeah baby doll anything for you, right?" Stephanie asked standing up. She picked up the house phone and dialed his number. She was a little happy on the inside especially because this was her excuse. After a few rings he answered.
"Hello?" His deep voice asked sleepily.
"Yeah, uh Paul..."
"What's wrong?" He asked in concern.
"Ria wants to talk to you."
"And you're crying?" He let out a sly chuckle.
"There's a whole other reason for that, hold on." A small smile appeared and she handed the phone to her baby girl.
"Hello?" Maria asked.
"Hi sweetie." He said.
"Hi daddy, when you coming to get me and Kris and Ally?"
"Tomorrow, like always." He said like she was supposed to know.
"I just wanted to make sure you knew so you don't forget like last week when Grandpa made you work."
"Oh, I'm sorry for that again and you know how your grandpa can get..." He said trailing off.
"Like an asshole?" Maria asked.
"What did you say?" Paul and Stephanie asked in unison.
"That's what daddy said." Maria said in to the phone and also looking up at Stephanie.
"Look princess, don't say that any more and the faster you go to sleep, the sooner I'll be there so how about you go to bed now and I'll see you tomorrow."
"Deal." Maria said.
"Okay give the phone to mommy." Paul said.
"Okay." Maria handed the phone to Stephanie and went to sleep in her bed.
"So?" Paul asked into the phone.
"So what?" Stephanie asked.
"So why were you crying? What's wrong?"
"Who say's there's something wrong?" Stephanie asked.
"Stephanie we were married for years, I think I'd know when my wife is or was in tears."
"Shut up and we aren't married...at least not anymore." She said rolling her eyes as if he were in front of her.
"Babe, do you want me to come over?"
"It's a free country."
"Is that the way of my beautiful princess saying she wants me, prince charming to come to her rescue?"
"Yes Paul I could use your company." She said. "Satisfied?"
"I think so and lucky for you I'm at a near by hotel, I'll be there in a few."
"Okay." A few minutes later she heard the doorbell ring. She got up and opened the door to find 'her prince charming'.
"Hey babe." He smiled.
"Hi."
"I miss that beautiful face of yours."
"Thanks." She smiled as he came in. He hugged her and after she motioned him to sit.
"Spill, I'm here so tell me what's up."
"Remember Alicia?"
"Yeah in uh...collage right?"
"Yes, her...well her and my EX-husband slept together." She said emphasizing ex.
"No we didn't, that's like...rape." He said.
"No her and Drew, stupid."
"Oh and I'm not stupid." He stuck his tongue out.
"Sure."
"Do you think I should take him back?" Stephanie asked.
"No." He said. She gave him her famous glare of hatred of that moment. She mysteriously developed that same glare after they had gotten married. "What?" He asked knowing all of her facial expressions.
"Hunter I'm asking you a question."
"And Steph I'm giving you an answer, I still don't like the thought of my wife with some one other then me."
"Again, I'm not your wife." She said smiling. "Why do I always come to you with my problems?"
"Maybe it's because...it's because before we were lovers, we were friends, am I right?"
"Yes." She looked up.
"It's also because I'm your superman."
"Yeah sure."
"What?" He asked. "It's what you said on our honeymoon." He cocked an eyebrow up.
"And you still remember that?" She asked.
"Of course." He smiled. She gave him a look he would be most likely to know. "I know what you're thinking."
"You do not." He got up and walked to her and looked her in her eyes. With Stephanie being the woman she was and in the state she was in, she leaned in and kissed him. With him knowing his ex-wife oh so well, he wasn't at all startled so he kissed her back. He pulled back and looked at her in her eyes.
"Steph?" He asked.
"Paul can you shut up and just make love to me?" Stephanie asked still in his arms. He chuckled and cocked his eyebrow up once again.
"You don't have to ask me twice." He picked her up and they walked into the down stairs guest room. Like she requested, he made love to her.
